After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

The next evening, Zhen Huan sat in front of the mirror and painted the distant mountains with her own hands, while Jing Xi slowly told the story of Queen Chun Yuan beside her.

"Empress Chunyuan loves poetry, is kind to others, and doesn't fight or compete. The emperor grew up in the deep palace and is used to the intrigues between women, so he naturally values ​​this."

Zhen Huan put Mule Dai down, picked up an earring with her onion-like fingertips and hung it on her earlobe.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across his lips. "Throughout the ages, all the poems and songs involving the harem always say that women use every possible means to win favor, but no one has ever mentioned why they fight for favor. If men can be fair and balance the jealousy and gains and losses among women, how can such a thing happen?

Most of the poems, books and literary classics were written by men, so naturally all the blame was put on women. Emperor Minghuang of Tang was a wise ruler, but he still identified Yang Yuhuan as the culprit for the decline of the Tang Dynasty, let alone other people.

Queen Chunyuan is kind-hearted. I like you very much. Your Majesty said this just to make people think that he has a noble character!"

Jinxi was a little scared when she heard this. She looked around and nodded when she saw that only trustworthy people were in the room.

Huanbi picked up the golden hairpin on the table and inserted it into Zhen Huan's bun. Looking at herself in the mirror, Huanbi said, "Since the Queen is using Queen Chunyuan to frame the young lady, why don't we play along with them? Jinxi, do you think it looks like this?"

Jin Xi walked up to Zhen Huan and stared at her intently. She couldn't help but cover her lips and said, "This... Isn't this just like Queen Chun Yuan coming back to life?" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong and lowered her head quickly.

Zhen Huan grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "I asked you to recall Queen Chunyuan's preferences and imitate them for me. You are the only one in our palace who has seen Queen Chunyuan. If you think she looks like her, then the emperor will think so when he sees her later. Jinxi, you don't have to feel sorry for her."

Huanbi also smiled and said to Jinxi: "Our young master has figured it out! Since you have this advantage, why not use it?"

Jin Xi finally smiled with relief, "Hey, I understand."

Zhen Huan stood in the courtyard looking at the moonlight. She estimated that everyone should be here by now. She took Huanbi's hand and said, "Let's go!"

The two of them left Suiyuxuan together. Huanbi looked at the young lady's dignified appearance and was happy from the bottom of her heart, seeing that the young lady had finally walked out of the shadow of Queen Chunyuan.

There was a lively scene in Shufangzhai. The princes came up to the emperor one by one to congratulate him. They all said auspicious words. The emperor nodded as if he was doing his job, but his eyes were always on the empty seat between Meizhuang and Lingrong.

"Wanpin is not coming today?"

The queen hurriedly stood up and was about to reply when there was a notification at the door and everyone looked over.

"Empress Wanpin is here!"

Zhen Huan walked towards the center of the hall with a smile on her face, holding Huanbi's hand. When she arrived in front of the emperor, she half-knelt, bowed deeply, and said many auspicious words.

When the emperor saw the woman in front of him, his head suddenly buzzed, "Wanwan?"

The Emperor opened his mouth in shock as soon as Zhen Huan came in. Not only her, but also some older princes who had seen Queen Chun Yuan also opened their mouths and looked at Zhen Huan with round eyes.

"Wanwan, you're here?" The emperor lifted the hem of his skirt and strode to the opposite side of Zhen Huan. When he was about to hug her, the emperor finally came to his senses.

"Your concubine Zhen Huan pays respects to His Majesty!" Zhen Huan retracted her hands and leaned back, and there was obviously a great distance between her and the emperor.

All at once, loss and recovery, longing, shock, regret, guilt...all kinds of emotions surged into his heart, and the name "Zhen Huan" kept repeating in the emperor's ears like an echo.

"Princess Wan, the Emperor and I thought you weren't coming tonight. Now that you're here, please go down and sit down!"

The Queen looked at her and saw that she was obviously dressed up like her elder sister. Even her every move was very much like her elder sister. If the eunuch had not just informed everyone that this person was Concubine Wan, even she would have made a mistake.

The emperor slowly took her hand, looked at her for a long time and said, "Su Peisheng, go and move a chair. Wanpin is pregnant, so please sit next to me!"

"I am pregnant, and I am afraid that my body will disturb the emperor's enjoyment of the feast. You should sit in your seat!"

Zhen Huan was secretly delighted when she saw that the emperor's eyes were no longer as cold as they had been a few days ago, but instead were covered with a thin layer of tenderness, so she pretended to refuse.

The emperor held her hand reluctantly and smiled, "Sit wherever I say your seat is. Okay, the family dinner is about to begin, so don't be so formal."

The Queen felt uneasy and full of doubts. Why would Wanpin dress like this? Wasn't she afraid that the Emperor would use her as a substitute for his sister?

At the banquet, Zhen Huan followed what Jing Xi said and served the emperor like Chun Yuan used to. People would think that her heart and eyes were entirely devoted to the emperor, and the emperor was obviously very pleased with this trick.

"Okay, Wanpin, you've been having a hard time carrying the child, so eat more and don't have to take care of me all the time."

"I was not feeling well a few days ago and could not accompany you. I feel very guilty. Please let me serve you. Only then can I feel at ease."

The emperor smiled and touched her hair. When he was about to speak, the queen reminded him, "Your Majesty, today is the day when new people enter the palace. It is very lively right now. Why don't you let the new lady wait for a while, so as not to ruin the atmosphere in the palace?"

The emperor put down his wine glass. At this moment, his mind was filled with Zhen Huan. To be more precise, it was Chun Yuan that he saw through Zhen Huan. How could there be anyone else in his mind?

But it was already agreed that the new bride would meet the emperor tonight, and a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, so, "Just let her in!"

The Queen smiled triumphantly at Zhen Huan, looking like a winner, "Jianqiu, come in!"

Just as the queen finished speaking, a woman in bright clothes and graceful posture slowly entered the room with her face half covered.

"Your concubine Murong Lanyi greets His Majesty and His Majesty the Queen. May His Majesty be in good health and live happily forever. May His Majesty the Queen live a thousand years of good fortune, peace and happiness."

The emperor nodded, thinking that this person's features looked somewhat familiar, but seeing that she was still young, he couldn't figure out who she resembled.

Then he said calmly: "Get up!"

The queen was a little anxious, but her expression remained calm. She smiled and said, "Why don't you take off your veil and let the emperor see your true face?"

Murong Lanyi bowed and slowly lifted her veil.

"what?"

"Why do they look so alike?"

"It's just one person!"

The concubines and princes were talking about it. Zhen Huan looked over in the direction of the crowd's voices and discovered that this person looked exactly like Concubine Hua. She was shocked for a moment, then looked at the people around her whispering, and then she realized that this must be the Queen's work again.
